Boo...not of fan of ANY of the proposed changes. Slice, photograzing and NYC coverage are the main reasons (well, also food lab) I come to the site multiple times daily. Guess I'll have to find replacements for what was Serious Eats...RIP.

Thanks for the feedback! The flour I used yesterday was from a brand new bag of King Arthur Bread Flour...so it shouldn't have been the problem. I have been using "luke warm" water, as that's what's suggested in the recipe. I will try to use colder water, and a rest period (autolyse) tonight, and let everyone know how it goes :)

I used to live a few blocks away and was a regular. In addition to awesome sandwich's, it's also a great place for pre-made items and Italian groceries. I have to disagree on the Mozz though...I love it, although I am a bit of a salt fiend :)

I love Pastosa's for their very affordable selection of meats, cheeses and prepared foods. Amazing rice and prosciutto balls, fresh mozz, good bread...they have it all. There are a number of locations, but I've only been to the one in Bensonhurst.

Thanks for the review! I actually live in the neighborhood and this report confirms my feelings after my one and only visit. I was planning to give them another shot, but it sounds like they still haven' t hit there stride. I'll just keep going to Sottocasa down the street until I hear otherwise.

Kenji, is there a minimum size requirement for the food processor? I've been having trouble passing the window pain test when using this method, even after processing for up to minutes. Perhaps I'm overprocessing or the bowl of my processor's too small to handle 4.5 cups. Any thoughts?

You're dead on. I had wings at Matchless a couple weeks ago and was shocked at how good they were. I figured they would be average at best, but they were top notch.

I ordered from Wing Bar for the Jets game this past weekend, and thought they were also very good. Sauce could have been better but it's hard to truly judge a wing when they were delivered and not eaten while still scolding hot.
